Chapter one

2002 Words
The colorful chandelier hung above the ceiling of the Maridona Lowien Hotel, with a greater spotlight on the reception venue. Behind the hotel counter, Luna approached the receptionist with a smile on her face, "Hi, I booked a room." She said, leaning on the counter. The receptionist raised her head from the computer and smiled at her, " What's your name so that I could know the room you were allocated, please?" "Luna Diego", Luna replied, with her eyes fixated on her phone. "Okay… I see, room three hundred and nineteen, last floor. Use the elevator down there" The attendant said as she pointed at the direction of the elevator and handed a card key over to Luna. "Enjoy your stay here, maximum satisfaction is what we offer here." The attendant winked, with a smile on her face. Without a word, Luna got the card from the hotel attendant, flung her hair which fell over her face to her back, and swayed her hips as she walked into the elevator. Luna got into the elevator and in a few seconds, she arrived in her booked room. "Finally here," She took a deep breath in and placed the card on the scanner and the door beeped open and shut automatically as she got in She dropped her bag on the table beside the bed slid her top above her head and lay on the bed. "When is he going to be here? I miss him so much, I can't wait to see him here after a long time of texting him. He feels like my world and it seems like I have known him for years now," Luna soliloquized and blushed. She texted the man whom she was expecting to see and he responded "I'M CLOSE TO THE HOTEL," the butterflies in her belly fluttered immediately after she read his text. "OKAY BABY, I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU HERE!, " She sent a reply back to the sender. "DO SOMETHING SEXY FOR ME, BEFORE I COME MEET YOU. SURPRISE ME!" the message popped up on her phone screen. "OKAY," she responded, slid out her bra, and went into the bathroom to have a quick shower. She turned on the shower, the water cascaded down her skin as she closed her eyes and traced the soap on her skin. A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door which made Luna jump up in the bathroom and wiggle her ass while she stared at her body in front of the mirror. "I can't wait to finally achieve and have all the fantasies we had of ourselves" Stupidly, she picked up her phone from the rack in the bathroom and responded to his last messages, " COME INSIDE, I AM IN THE BATHROOM BABY". With the key that the man got from the hotel receptionist, he opened the door and walked inside the room, immediately freeing his tie and dropping it on the bed. He scanned around the room and licked his lower lips. At that point, his eyes caught a yellow Chanel bag on the bed, and commented, "Everything seems to remind me of her!" He tightened his fists and walked closer to the bathroom where he heard the sound of the shower and a familiar scent. Hurriedly, he unbuttoned his top, and in between breaths he mumbled, "I can't wait to devour this lady…damn I can't believe I waited this long for this!". His hands touched the door knob and slowly he opened the door. As he walked in, he felt a wave of uncertainty wash over him as his nostrils started to itch slightly which he ignored. As he looked into the glass shower door, he thought, "Has the same shape. Isn't this not… I don't like this feeling!" He opened the shower door, "Surprise!" He said, and walked closer to Luna who was too scared to turn her head back to see the face of the person she had always been chatting with because of the voice she just heard. She held her breath, as the man got closer to her and touched her shoulder. "How you doing mama, turn around for me!" He said in a husky and sexy tone then he roughly spinned her to his face "What? What are you doing here? The f**k!! This is crazy!" The man yelled, his eyes bloodshot as he spoke. "Damn, oh my God " Luna turned to hide her face, with her mouth slightly parted. She felt it from that instance when he heard his voice and scent that something was wrong. He grabbed her roughly on the shoulder and shook her, "So this is what you do? I could beat the f**k out of you right now but we are in a public space." "I'm done here! " He thundered, sending echoes in the room and Luna's eyes glistened with tears. Angrily the man stormed out of the shower and slammed the door, he wore back his clothes, took his suitcase along with him, and left, with his fist tightened and his eyes bloodshot. Her fingers shook slightly as she brought it to close her mouth in surprise, "I have to look for a way to resolve this issue too. It's way too embarrassing and this is just the first time I am doing this, I just had to take my friend's advice and here I am! In this dilemma". She sank into the bathtub, "No no, this can't be true. I Hope it's a dream!". Abruptly, she got up from the tub where she sat and hurriedly rinsed herself off and moved out of the shower after which she hurriedly dressed up and left the hotel. Outside the hotel, Luna took quick steps to her car, pressing the car remote which slid the door open for her to get in. She hit the pedal and drove speedily to arrive at her house. In an hour, she got to her house and as she drove in her heartbeat started palpitating with the speed of light. She stepped out of the car and her leg shook as she walked into the big mansion, and opened the front door, inhaling the smell of the house she had always treasured. "Welcome back now! Get ready to sign the divorce papers in an hour" A commanding tone echoed immediately as she stepped into the house. Luna turned her face to look at the person who spoke, it was the man at the hotel. The man she had always loved and wanted to live with forever. Her husband. "What do you mean by divorce? I don't understand!" She quivered, even though that was one of the things she expected. "Say a word right now and I will beat the hell out of you! " Diego thundered as his voice left a resounding wave in the room. Luna took a deep breath in, she walked closer to him. "I am not signing the divorce papers, do whatever you want to do…after all ..ah" Luna screamed as she placed her hands on her cheeks, she had just been slapped by Diego. Surprisingly, she returned the slap on his face and angrily pointed her finger at him as she yelled, "Don't you dare touch me, except you want to rot in jail" Sniffling and wiping her eyes, she continued, "Enough of you hitting on me like I am a punching bag! Enough is enough" Diego grabbed her by her wrist tightly, shooting a deadly glare at her as he tightened his fist around her wrist. He brought his face closer to her and spoke in a whisper " You will hear from my lawyer in the early hours. Get ready to sign the papers or face the consequences." He freed her hands in a fling and walked away while Luna slammed back at him angrily "And I repeat! I am not signing any papers" She sank on the couch, and broke down in tears which flowed like a waterfall, "What is wrong with me? How did I get into this mess?" Diego was the CEO of the Bonina firm and Luna, were childhood best friends who grew into lovers until he marked her as his mate. It was a dream come true for both of them, especially Luan who was so in love with him. "He just changed!" The words escaped from her mouth as she said in her head. Three years after their marriage, Diego suddenly changed. He began to be wild to Luna at any little mistake she made or things she said. At first, she thought he was just going through the stress of the little loss his firm had during that period but instead, his anger grew and erupted into slaps and later beatings but she endured. Even when her father told her to come home or get a divorce she refused as her last response to her father was, " I love him! I love him, papa, this is just a phase and I'll get through it. Remember the marriage vows were for better and for worse till death do us part. I won't leave my husband alone to go through all those emotional turmoils" "I wish I knew, I would have just stayed behind. So all this while, I have been chatting with my husband thinking it's a new guy. I just wanted to have fun, he was maltreating me and making me feel so lonely, does this mean he has been cheating on me?!" Luna thought while waiting for her twin sister, Ava, to pick up the phone. The phone rang but yet there was no response. Helplessly, she went to her room, cried, and fell asleep. Three hours later, Diego returned home. He called harshly, "Luna! Luna! Where is that f*****g loser?" He tightened his fist and went straight to her room. Luna's door creaked open, and Diego stomped in with an icy tone he yelled tapping on her roughly, " Luna! Luna! Why are you sleeping peacefully like you didn't do anything? By the way, here is your paper for you to sign. Before noon, I want to see your signature there, or else, you won't like yourself." Luna, whose eyes were heavy from sleep, got up slowly and got the divorce paper from Diego, " Oh really? These are the divorce papers? Oh, that's nice!" She read the first line of the paper and gave a faint laugh, "That's never going to happen, do your worst," she sneered, tore the paper, and threw the paper on Diego's face. With anger, Diegy grabbed her on her neck and pinned her to the wall, his eyes glared at her and sweat trickled down her face, "Listen up, I'm not here to play with you. I'll give you the second paper to think about it. Don't try anything funny again, I am warning you, because if you do!!! " He freed her, took out another divorce paper, and grabbed her palms, putting the papers in them and he turned his back and left. As soon as Diego left the room, his phone rang and he picked it up. " Hello," a female voice said and he responded, " Yes baby, how are you doing?" "I am fine honey, but… there's a problem" "But what?" Diego snapped back impatiently, in a calm but commanding tone. "Hey why is your voice like that you are making me cry right now," the voice replied in a seductive tone. " I'm sorry, what is the problem? How are you? Talk to Daddy!" Diego chided, his tone very different from the way it was a few minutes ago. "You won't believe what is happening to me baby, I went to the hospital and I thought I was sick, so the doctor conducted a test on me" Cutting her off, Diego impatiently asked, "So what was the result?" "I'm having a baby for you, Daddy!" The caller announced. "A baby?" Diego gasped in surprise.
